I've been a Mac user since 1992, when I was 7 years old. I've been a huge Apple fan ever since, learning every Mac model, reading MacRumors from when it first started...I eventually worked at an Apple retail store then Education Sales after that. I currently own an Apple TV, iPod Touch, MacBook Pro 17", and an iMac.
Yet, I'm a happy and proud owner of the BlackBerry Bold 9900.
I've been a real estate agent for years, and while some agents out there prefer the iPhone or Android-based devices, I still have not found anything to match the quickness and speed of "getting things done" on my BlackBerry. If I get 50-100 emails in a day or 10-15 voicemails; I'd rather have my BlackBerry for my communication device.
That's the thing - BlackBerry has always been a communication device. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not as user-friendly as the iPhone, nor does it have apps to let you pass time while waiting at the doctor's office...but if you know how to get around (example - From the main screen, hit "C", and it composes an email), it is so much easier and faster to get work done. (Another example - I can find an email from three months ago in 5 seconds by hitting "S")
Just my two cents!
Wanted to let you guys know that there are people who still love their BlackBerry smartphones...and their iPod touches.
